Harry Douglas and Dan Orlovsky debated if the panthers are a playoff team. There is a time and a place for it.
Baker will make his first start at quarterback for the Carolina panthers against the team that gave up on him.
The first pick in this year's draft was named the starter for the opener by the Carolinas.
After being suspended for the first 11 games by the NFL for violating the league's personal conduct policy, it will be Mayfield against Brissett, so it will be the first game of the season.
league sources said the job was his to lose all along, despite the fact that he won the competition.
Matt Rhule said they were looking at three things when they started the process. Number one, mastery of the offense; number two, situational football excellence; and number three, moving the ball and getting guys involved are some of the things that "number one, mastery of the offense; number two, situational football excellence; and number 3, moving the ball and getting guys
Baker has made a lot of improvement, a lot of growth in all three areas.
When the decision was made, he wasn't worried about it.
As long as we're supporting each other and leading correctly, good things will happen. We're just trying to get better each day, so we don't worry about when that will happen.
After Cleveland gave up on him, he didn't lose confidence.
He said it wasn't a redemption year. I know what I can do." I don't want to prove anything to anyone. I'm trying to lead the best I can and win as many ball games as I can.
The Carolina Hurricanes hope to get the 2020 version of Mayfield, who went 11-5 and won a playoff game for the Cleveland Indians with 26 touchdown. While dealing with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder, the winner of the award struggled to a 6-8 record last season.
After the 2021 season, the panthers began looking for a new quarterback. They were part of a group of teams that were going after him.
The possibility of trading for Mayfield around the draft was explored by the Carolinas before selecting Matt Corral in the third round. The holdup was Cleveland's refusal to let the majority of the salary go to him.
In early July, Cleveland agreed to pay $10.5 million of the contract, leaving the Carolinas with $4.58 million.
The first step in reaching the incentives is being named the starter.
He wasn't given the job right away. During the first three weeks of training camp, he and Darnold did the same amount of work.
It was obvious that he was going to win the job when he learned the Ben McAdoo system. McAdoo, who rated the sixth-best quarterback in the draft and had questions about the ability to run a pro style offense, was won over quickly.
Since he's been here for two weeks, it's been pretty impressive. Command is a strength of his. He can lead a room and command a room. There is a presence about him. He has a lot of fire in his guts.
He kept his personality under control, choosing his words carefully and talking with respect for the competition between them.
The thought that would continue for a long time was laughed at by the wide receiver who played the last four seasons in Cleveland with the young quarterback.
He is just holding it in. It will come out when it comes out. When it arrives, may God be with you.
Now that the starter is named, maybe that will happen.
"Baker, I've seen a lot of trash talk, and he's usually got a lot of F-bombs in there'' I'm not sure when it's going to come out, but it's going to come out.
